Ross was raised in Orlando, Florida. Ross had a half brother Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show. While working as a carpenter with his father, Ross lost part of his left index finger. It did not affect the way he held his palette while painting.
Net asset value. Net asset value (NAV) is the value of an entity's assets minus the value of its liabilities, often in relation to open-end or mutual funds, since shares of such funds are redeemed at their net asset value. This may also be the same as the book value or the equity value of a business.
In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW) is a measurement of the profitability of an undertaking that is calculated by subtracting the present values (PV) of cash outflows (including initial cost) from the present values of cash inflows over a period of time.
